  1. Look, I know I go on about this stuff all the time but it’s painfully obvious we mollycoddle drivers.

    If you break the speed limit during your test, it’s a major fault and you fail. If you break the speed limit FOUR TIMES in as many months, you get a slap on the wrist and are temporarily banned from driving for two months. After that, you can keep going.

    Also: LOLOLOLOL 20mph zones don’t work, London is at a standstill because of LTNs blah blah blah

  2. Remember that most speedos overestimate your speed by 5-10%. If you’re driving at 28mph in a 30 zone your speedo will be showing 30mph+, if you’re driving at 46mph in a 40 zone, your speedo will be showing 50mph+.

    The A316 has been 40 miles an hour through Twickenham for over 15 years and there’s repeater signs all the way along. There’s zero excuse.

  3. What a moron. They literally paint lines on the road that warn you of speed cameras.

  4. The very “turd that won’t flush”, to quote Goldsmith in the Lords.

    Anyway, I’m sure this is somehow the EU or Sadiq Khan’s fault.

  5. GET THIS DANGEROUS MAN OFF OUR ROADS

    The Conservative peer’s four offences were:

    >>Speeding at 46mph in a 40mph zone on the A316 in Twickenham on May 31

    What a waste of police time. Thanks for nothing Mayor Khan

  6. I passed my test in (I think) 2007. The same year I was caught speeding and went and did a course. Never happened since. How do you get caught 4 times in 4 months?

  7. His dog whistle campaigning shoulda have told us all we need to know about this man.

  8. Bloke is an actual billionaire yet does his own driving? Mad.
